Very interesting, don't think most of us will be rushing to copy the body mods though

156mph from 197 bhp? With that thing having all the aerodynamic efficiency of a skydiving grand piano? It must have a TVR speedo fitted then...

I've got a couple of pictures of this car from about 6 years ago. A friend you worked in special effects at Pinewood took them for me. The pics I have show a camera suspended low in front of the car on a boom. The car had a different "scaffoled" type frame at the time.

That's it! I've got it! I'll change the body on mine to be one of these - that'll stop all the bickering!

Firefox you can't do that - it'd be a copy / replica camaera carrier then (CC).

Stick with yours as it gives you fun and is great to drive, but don't stick the chrome 18's on it !!

Hmm Paul -

Bright yellow paint, black seats with yellow piping, AND chrome 18 inchers - could be interesting! Whitewall tyrews too - or just highlighted script?

Well if you went for the chrome 18's you could always add the chrome side stripes, rear light gaurds and big chrome badges. Maybe to top it off some neons shining out from underneath ?

A guy near me has done this to his red xj6, chrome everywhere, but I think would look far better on a yellow car

Just gettin' my coat
